Todd is a national treasure. I have been to over 100 brewery’s across the United States and Todd is THE GOAT of brewery bartenders, he can answer any question you have about the beer!

This is said to be an extension of Smog City brewery, had I known this was where we were headed I would've gone elsewhere. Smog City is known to have some of the worst beer in Los Angeles. I am surprised they are still in business. The beer was flat and tasted like all they do is add hop after hop because there is no other flavor than the hops, no balance what so ever. It's time to hang it up people. Find another hobby.

The table saison has a very mild sour taste. Very delicious Saison! The Buzzworthy Stout has a slight honey flavor and bourbon Barrel aged so there's that! I'd you like bourbon and honey this is your jam!!!

They don’t open on time. Been there after 5:15pm on Tuesday- no signs of life…….

BEST TRIVIA SPOT!!! But seriously, our daughter has spent two birthdays at Smog City West for their trivia nights. She doesn't know any other way. Sam is the best beertender ever, and knows exactly what you want. They don't have food, but you can bring your own. Brittany is the best trivia host!! (Insert high fives).Board games? They've got em. Chalkboard hallway and chalk to draw? You betcha. Simpsons arcade game? D'oh! Yup! Oh, and don't forget about the free books outside next door at the tutoring place to go peruse in between rounds. Thanks for all the good times, Smog City!!

I really like this brewery! We spontaneously decided to find a local brewery to have a quick beer, and this one showed up on Yelp. It doesn't look like anything from the outside, but insiste it's quaint and interesting. Love the light fixtures and the wallpaper they have. Since this was our first time here, we asked the bartender for their recommendations - we got the Little Bo, Sabre toothed squirrel and the mango Pango - all of them were really good. They offer 3 different sizes, 4oz, 8 oz, & full sized. All of their beers are very reasonably priced!

Absolutely the best beers in town - so flavorful, fresh and delicious! I love the events they have here and the sense of camaraderie among the crowd. Fun place to stop after work or on a day off. Highly recommend! So glad I found it.

Good beers, but FYI the food trucks are only at the other location in Torrance. However, you can bring in or get food delivered.

Nice, cozy environment and a wide selection of beers. This one is definitely more my vibe than the original location. The From LA Wit Love was great.

I'm a lightweight, so I sampled three beers and tasted two that my friends had. I started with the coffee porter, which was strong and smooth with a back taste of coffee. Then I tried the Good Night Moon, a stout. Also smooth and tasty. Third was the Bourbon Barrel O.E. very different and will kick your butt at 14%. I'm not saying that it is an acquired taste, but it doesn't taste like beer. I tasted the Nothing 2022. A little heavy duty for me. I suggest a good steak to go with it. The New Normal is a great drinking beer. Light, not hoppy and a good balance. I have to admit, we brought yakitori in. They don't serve food. It helped to offset the alcohol. They had a bagpiper and a Celtic Pirate Band which made it a semi raucous evening.

Always enjoy their IPAs.

Excellent service! Really well designed bar. They had Gary Clark Jr on the speakers. A lot of fun ?I tried their Smog City IPA and it was really good.

Great intimate brewery. Been seeing this brewery throughout Redondo Beach and had to come try it out!
